Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[Rogerm]

Does US law allow vice-presidents to serve only two four-year terms the way it does presidents?

[RJNorton]

Roger, that is a great question. I would also ask, "Can a two-term President later serve as Vice President?" (I would guess not as he or she would not be eligible to be President)

[RJNorton]

A+, Gene! Was a try...
Just for the icing - what unique feature excludes any further former vices?

They are all dead?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Excellent, Roger, that is correct.

Does US law allow vice-presidents to serve only two four-year terms the way it does presidents?

This is a very interesting question about vice-presidents. I looked online and found an article you can read here: http://www.factcheck.org/2008/04/vp-term-limits/

I am not certain about the accuracy this website, however, it does address the question.

[RJNorton]

Which President wrote, "Assassination can no more be guarded against than death by lightning and it is not best to worry about either."

[Eva Elisabeth]

Lightening reminds me of George Forquer's lightening rod, and the president back then was Andrew Jackson. So I guess him. Also he was Seward's role model, and Seward was prepared for assassination in such office.

[RJNorton]

That is very logical thinking, Eva. Kudos. However, it was not Andrew Jackson who said this.

[Joe Di Cola]

That is very logical thinking, Eva. Kudos. However, it was not Andrew Jackson who said this.

James A. Garfield. Ironic!

[RJNorton]

Brilliant, Joe! Indeed it was Garfield.

Joe, you win a date with Matilda Edwards!

I learned the Garfield quote from reading Tom Bogar's American Presidents Attend the Theatre. We have talked a lot on the forum about Tom's Backstage at the Lincoln Assassination, but I heartily recommend this book by Tom as well.

Congratulations Joe.
I hear she likes Olive Garden


(private joke, Joe's kind of picky on Italian restaurants)

[LincolnToddFan]

LOL!!! Olive Garden!!!!

[Joe Di Cola]

LOL!!! Olive Garden!!!!

POL!!! (PUKE OUT LOUD!!! Olive Garden is just the emetic needed to POL!!!)

I'm afraid to ask this, Joe, but what is your favorite Italian dish (and don't say Sophia Loren)?

[Wild Bill]

Well, I do not know about anyone else but Sophia Loren is MY favorite Italian dish--along with Judge Jeanine Pirro, of course
